rainfall and localized flash flooding.
There is a conditional threat for a few severe thunderstorms Monday
evening, generally west of I-135. If a storm or two can manage to
develop, all severe weather hazards will be possible.
Another round of scattered to numerous thunderstorms is expected
Tuesday afternoon and night across mainly eastern Kansas. All severe
hazards are once again possible, along with very heavy rainfall and
